The suspects remained in the residence for approximately five minutes gathering valuables before one (1) suspect exited with two (2) purses, a coat, and several other miscellaneous items. The other suspect exited with the keys to the Infiniti. The first suspect returned to the getaway Range Rover waiting in the street and the other proceeded to steal the Infiniti.
